"Lamb's powerful, entertaining new production is tightly paced while still maintaining all of the memorable language that makes the play great."
- ( North County Times )
 
"The show is well grounded in the focused energy of Nick Cordileone's solid and sympathetic Prince. He excellently conveys Hamlet's bitter public grief, his private rage, and his manic streak that some mistake for madness."
- ( Backstage West )
 
"The production engrosses, even entertains. Cordileone delivers the famous soliloquies facing the patrons, enlisting audience support in answering the many philosophical and practical questions he poses. There's a surprising clarity of motive in his Hamlet, and some moments of fine comedy."
- ( San Diego Union-Tribune )
 
"A solid production of the world's greatest play. The three hours fly by."
- ( SanDiego.com )
 
"Spine-tingling live music. One of the most exciting fencing duels I've seen onstage."
- ( North County Times )
